To combat these invasive thoughts, Cade and the rest of Toothpicks pushed themselves further than ever before in making this album. The entire project was written on an acoustic guitar and the group chased a more tangible creation process, writing down chord progressions and lyrics by hand. The new additions of Magleby and Flores also dramatically changed the writing process.
